Flunil (fluoxetine) does not commonly cause breathing difficulties with long-term use. However, other causes should also be considered, and a medication-related effect cannot be completely ruled out.
It would be advisable to consult your psychiatrist for a proper assessment. If you experience sudden or severe breathing difficulty, seek urgent medical attention.

There are herbal alternatives, but you shouldn’t abruptly stop flunil. We can suggest ayurvedic alternatives and help you taper out of flunil safely
